It's a short but sweet interview about how
losing her son Steven to cancer in 1996 inspired another tzadekis, Tamar
Bittleman of blessed memory to launch the project that would become
"Steven's Garden".

Shirel has, with the significant help of Wendy Kenin (who produced this segment for Mitzvah Media / RFN) launched an Indiegogo
fundraising campaign to help take care of a special place that has
meant so much to so many people over the last 18 years. Now that Tamar
is gone and can't keep up the garden herself, it's up to us to lend a
hand.

So, it's after the 9 Days of Jerry, and it's time for some changes.
Ready?
Please take Note:

The Jet Blue Blues Hour will now air at 11:00 PM Wednesday Night (Jerusalem Time). Yes, 2:00 AM in Jerusalem is a bit late for a "live" Blues Hour, and we are all about "live" radio 'round here, so the Jet Blue, Blues Hour will now air at 11:00 PM Jerusalem Time. (4:00 PM East Coast U.S. time, and 1:00 PM West Coast U.S. time)
What, you say that's too early for you to have the Blues or to take a Blues Getaway?
Well, we'll replay the Blues Hour Sunday at 2:00 AM Jerusalem Time, which is 7:00 PM U.S. East Coast time and 4:00 PM West Coast time.

Change number is 2 is: The weekly episode of our new feature, Jerusalem Stories will continue to air on Sunday Night at 11:00 PM and will be replayed 2:00 AM Thursday Jerusalem time (7:00 PM East Coast U.S. and 4:00 PM West Coast U.S.) and then on Friday, 11:00 AM Jerusalem Time (4:00 AM East Coast U.S. and 1:00 AM West Cost U.S.).
Got it?
Hey, just stay tuned, we'll keep you posted

The 9 Days of Jerry always includes one Shabbat, which is of course called "Shabbos Jerry".
The greatest Kiddush HaShem we at Radio Free Nachlaot get to perform
all year long is when we TURN OFF THE BROADCAST when Shabbat begins in
Jerusalem! Imagine - our little
Internet radio station, with hundreds of people all around the world
listening - the biggest audience we have all year - and we turn it off
for Shabbat. Gevaldt. It's always such an amazing feeling - and
always wonderful to turn it back on again after Shabbos to have many
more listeners return! We're off the air l'kavod Shabbos Kodesh
before 6:55pm Jerusalem time and we'll be BACK with the rest of the
entire WEEK of 5th Annual 9 DAYS OF JERRY on Saturday night, sometime
after Rabbaynu Tam time (yes as always all times are Jerusalem times!) The 9 Days of Jerry continue through "Isru Jerry" (Friday August 15th). Much more Jerry to come next week! From Jerry's Shabbos table to yours - Shabbat Shalom!
(Original photo by Rosie McGee, which I only found out about
last December at Blues for Challah - I've been using this picture for
years as "Jerry's Shabbos Table." It's really a picture of Jerry at a
French chateau in 1971! But what can I say, it's
obviously a perfect image to use to celebrate Shabbos Jerry!)

We really, REALLY hope the war in Gaza is over with before the 5th Annual 9 DAYS OF JERRY begins on Radio Free Nachlaot. Of course no matter what, the show must go on. RFN's 5th Annual 9 Days of Jerry starts at 1pm Jerusalem time on the
10th of Av (Wednesday August 6th and continues non-stop (except for
Shabbos of course) through "Isru Jerry", Friday August 15th. For
those who are not familiar with Radio Free Nachlaot's minhagim, during
Jewish leap years when Tisha b'Av occurs during the REAL 9 Days of Jerry
(August 1st - 9th) we don't start broadcasting our Jerry and
Jerry-related music until after Tisha b'Av is over. This has happened to
us so far twice during the last five years and because this year is one
of those years on the Jewish Calendar, we have to adjust the start of
the 9DOJ for after Tisha b'Av. Mark your calendars! If the war in
Gaza isn't over with, someone should set up GIGANTIC speakers all around
Gaza's periphery so the population will be forced to listen to non-stop
Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia Band and other Jerry-related music at top
volume during the 9DOJ, which will either cause peace to descend upon
them (G*d willing) or force them to cast themselves into the sea simply
to relieve the aural pressure. Either way, it's a win/win.
